It's been all over the Canadian news last night and today, but in Montreal yesterday, a 25-year-old gunman opened fire in Dawson College, killing 1 woman and wounding 19 other people.

Here's one link; there's a bunch of other ones if you Google around (or, y'know, get Canadian newspapers).

Bleah.
"He yanked himself free and fled to the kitchen where something huddled against the flooded windowpanes. It sighed and wept and tapped continually, and suddenly he was outside, staring in, the rain beating, the wind chilling him, and all the candle darkness inside lost."

Not the first nor the last of these school shootings.

Just goes to show that psychopaths are everywhere.

That's awful Bob! Did they know anyone that was shot?

Ah yes. I believe you can find a pic of this dude (with his automatic) and journal entries on www.vampirefreaks.com. They showed it on CBC. This happened before, they said, some dude started picking off women at a college (again in Montreal, I think) before turning the gun on himself. Apparently the motive was: he didn't like women. Reminds me of a scientist dude my friend told me about. He spent a decade or so studying women and concluded that, "women could not be trusted".

Back to this guy. You don't do this kind of stuff, I mean, c'mon! Apparently this guy did it because he found that society was intolerable and 'apathetic'-kill yourself then, not other people. Personally I'd become a hermit than kill anything! (Save animals, which would recieve appropriate prayers upon slaughter...).

Oi, Bob, I've also got a host of relatives living in Montreal, near this. Though I doubt they'd have known anyone that was shot (except maybe my cousin who is in college... :? )
